Charles Town Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
BELLA ITALIA (2) has not appeared since racing on the speed on debut and finishing third over 1006m at Delaware Park (Dirt) on August 2. Likely improver and can return in winning form. STARSHIP POLARIS (4) is a four-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Kevin J Joy yard. Resumes after filling a minor placing at her latest outing ten weeks ago at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Should feature in the finish. AMENDMENT (3) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1408m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. SPERRY CHALET (5) is building towards her maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on February 20 over 1408m, 12 len behind Ineedyoubabe with 57kg at $9.80. Before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at this track on February 4 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind Royaltiesprincess with 57kg at $4.50. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
